I am but with the new job I have to keep my head down for a while. So I am now an official weekend warrior
What/where is this job of yours
Yesterday I accepted a permanent contract to be a senior program manager for a network automation company. They are the fastest growing software company in the world, growing at about 50% per annum. They are owned by the guy who created netscape. They are very interesting and a great team. They are paying nearly what I was on as a contractor (if you include down time between contracts then they are actually paying more. It is the intellectial challenge I have been looking for and the promotion I have dreamed about. It is still a small company so my responsibilities will be varied and interesting and I will have all the "buy in" I want and can handle. My Perfect Job and I am really exited. I start on tuesday!
The main office is based in Heathrow but I dont expect to spend much time there as I will have clients all over europe and my main office will be at home!

Nice one mate. Pleased for you. Now what mod is first ?
I'd like to tag along too.. Not quite a Boloc yet though.. It would be great to meet some of you guys in person.
I'd prefer a weekday myself. I was planning on Hullavington on Friday 28th July with motorsport-events who I've done Keevil airfield with before. I haven't graduated to a real track yet!!

shang - will be @ Brands on the 26th, Bedford on the Aug Bank Hol, & planning on doing a KentLotus trip to Abbeyville in Oct. Do you want me to see if there are going to be any spare places on that?
gooby - excellent mate, good on you. If you need any PM's as you build a team drop me a line. You never know
Am about to get Prince2'd (felt it was about time I had it on the CV), so hopefully that will up my currency a bit.
Back on track (no pun intended!), to the above I'm sure it would be great, or if not how's about having another N Weald Day with fewer people and running 2 circuits, OR talking to Paul @ LoT and seeing if he could suggest a slot for us on a day somewhere where we can have our own session or sommat?

I just checked there are places still left on August Bank Hol.
Bedford would be a great place to start, loads of run off, very safe.
You would find it hard to do much damage at Bedford, I went off track in a spin and just got back on again.
To hurt yourself or your car at Bedford you would have to be a real danger to yourself, the sort of person you couldn't even trust on a pair of skates.
Just joking mate.

Any Bolocs doing the Westover day at Castle Coombe next Tuesday, (27th), seems like its almost fully booked, mainly with Lotuses as far as I can gather. Hope to see some of you guys there.
The problem with Westover days is they are for rich people who don't need to work.
Always on a weekday and expensive.
Phil.
